Restart:
Any time the pump is restarted, but especially when
the pump has been drained, you should check to make sure
the pump is refilled back to the level required.

Maintenance.
Before attempting any inspection or repair on the pump, the driver
controls must be in the “OFF” position, locked and tagged to prevent
injury to personnel performing service on the pump.
Motor lubrication.
To lubricate the motor, remove the grease drain plug (if present) and
filler plug on the grease fitting. Proceed to grease with clean lubricant
until you can see grease appear at the drain hole or along the motor
shaft. This may be done while motor is running or resting.
